Message from National Grid Ventures:
As you will be aware, National Grid Ventures (NGV) is developing plans to build a new subsea cable (known as an interconnector) between Great Britain and the Netherlands called LionLink. The project will connect to a Dutch offshore windfarm and connect the GB and Dutch electricity grids. The project will play an important role in reducing the UK’s reliance on fossil fuels and supporting the UK government’s objectives to create a secure, reliable, and affordable energy supply for UK households.
To support the project design development process, the project team will be undertaking ground investigation (GI) survey works along the proposed cable route from Tuesday 27 August 2024. You may see equipment and contractors on site while borehole works are taking place.
There will be a four-month construction window for short duration localised works installing boreholes, there will then be a period of intermittent monitoring.
For further information and updates, we encourage you to visit our website – nationalgrid.com/lionlink, including our new Landowners & Surveys page: https://www.nationalgrid.com/national-grid-ventures/future-developments/lionlink-landowners-surveys.
We have also attached a fact sheet that provides an overview of what the survey works will entail, which will be available on our website and you are welcome to share with your residents.
Separately, the attached newsletter was posted to c,9000 residents as well as digital recipients last week to provide a general update on the project as well as providing specific information on offshore works and considerations – this has been an area of particular interest for the community.
